Question 89

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A company has sales (measured in millions of dollars) of 50, 60, and 75 during the first three consecutive years.Find a quadratic function that fits these data, and use the result to predict the sales during the fourth year. Assume that the quadratic function is of the form y = ax2 + bx + c


A) y=152x2252x+3254y = \frac { 15 } { 2 } x ^ { 2 } - \frac { 25 } { 2 } x + \frac { 325 } { 4 } ; sales during the fourth year =$151.25= \$ 151.25 million
B) y=5x2+5x+40y = 5 x ^ { 2 } + 5 x + 40 ; sales during the fourth year =$180= \$ 180 million
C) y=5x2+40x+15y = - 5 x ^ { 2 } + 40 x + 15 ; sales during the fourth year =$95= \$ 95 million
D) y=52x2+52x+45y = \frac { 5 } { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 5 } { 2 } x + 45 ; sales during the fourth year =$95= \$ 95 million
